The House of Love
Elizabeth Cheney
Paperback
(Forgotten Books, April 21, 2018)
Excerpt from The House of Love Each of the four corners was occupied by a structure essential to the well-being of the place. On one stood the store, with its worn, shabby porch and steps, and a long shed with stalls in the rear. The store was after the famous old type with a marvelous variety of unsegregated wares. The mackerel barrel and the inevitable half ripened bunch of bananas were near neighbors to percales and ribbons. Tinned soups, lozenges, pickles, and cough mixtures shared a shelf with stationery and highly colored soaps. The one short glass case contained adamantine chocolates, amazing sugar cubes of a brilliant rose color, the Old-time striped Wintergreen and lemon sticks.
